About this property

Cozy Mount Gretna Chautauqua Cottage near Hershey with treehouse porch

  • Tucked among the trees in the heart of historic Mount Gretna, this charming 2-bedroom cottage offers the perfect blend of vintage character and cozy comfort. Perched high above the street, the oversized front porch feels like your own private treehouse retreat — the kind of place where mornings begin slowly with coffee in hand and evenings end with the soft sounds of music drifting from the nearby Playhouse.

    Inside, the cottage is filled with warm French Quarter-inspired décor, eclectic artwork, and timeless Mount Gretna charm. The fully equipped kitchen is stocked with everything you need for cooking, entertaining, or enjoying a quiet night in. The home also includes high-speed internet, a washer and dryer, and one full bath plus an additional half bath for added convenience.

    The porch is truly the highlight of the home — spacious, peaceful, and surrounded by mature trees that make you feel tucked away from the world while still being steps from all Mount Gretna has to offer.

    LINEN POLICY: Fresh linens are provided for your stay, and the linen/laundry fee is already included in the total cost of your reservation. There is no additional charge for linens after booking.

    Whether you're visiting for a weekend getaway, a Playhouse performance, lake days, or simply to unwind on the porch beneath the trees, this cottage offers a uniquely cozy Mount Gretna experience filled with charm, character, and comfort.

Big city respite

This little cottage was fabulous! The interior was comfortable and cute. There was a little play area upstairs. The beds were cozy, but not quite long enough if you're over 5'10". I Loved the porch! We'll definitely return if we get the chance.

Quiet stay in the woods

The cabin is quaint and quiet. Furnishings are period correct for a 1920's cabin....very cool, not always very comfortable. This would normally go largely unnoticed by us, but 5 of our 10 day stay was rain. There is a bit of a climb to get here, not the best choice for anyone with limitations. The porch is fabulous and we thoroughly enjoyed sitting out to read, watch the birds and smell the woods. Several good restaurants in the area and every person we encountered in Mt. Gretna was super friendly.

Charming historical home, appointed with period decor

Continually found treasures of a by gone era that added to the fun. Well stocked kitchen. Lovely walk through woods behind house. Eatery in walking distance, groceries 15 minutes away. Outdoor theater in walking distance. Nearby lake that we did not visit. Porch area quite large, well lit,breezy. Quiet neighborhood except for theater group practice. Host readily accessible and helpful. Would highly recommend to families or couples. I would worry about small children breaking antiques

A lovely get-a-way and some things to know

What a charming place!!!!! The gas fireplace added so much coziness. I would say "perfect" but for a few considerations. We arrived after dark and had a hard time finding the ccorrect cottage. better signage and lights would have been so helpful. We are both older, I with severe osteoporosis and a fall could be very bad. The inside steps are steep and scary for someone like me. I felt afraid I'd fall down the steps on my way to the bathrooom at night. We mistakenly parked in our neighbors drive, again, no signage we saw at night. For younger, more agile folks, it would be a dream house, the bed very comfortable, so many charming aspects. the street light outside of the sitting room/tv room did require being blocked out by the couch pillows. there was a fair amount of noise from our neighbors, which interrupted a little the love I have of just sitting in the quiet of the porch. my partner would have been more comfortable with a better quality of toilet paper and a fan in the bathroom. All this said, it was still a wonderful delightful stay. . thank you

This cottage is wonderful: from the rustic porch to the funky interior with painted furniture and fabulous antiques, I found it welcoming and comfortable. The host communicated quickly and clearly; she was very accommodating as well. Good, hot shower, well-equipped kitchen, and a nice washer and dryer made it a home away from home. I loved the treehouse like setting and appreciated the whole house AC. The upstairs sitting room was a comfortable retreat. I will be back!

Very quaint and quiet property, however it is only a few streets back from the theatre so you do hear the shows in the evening- we did enjoy it though! Also, it might be worth looking into some type of blind or curtain in the TV sunroom upstairs. At night, the street light shines directly on you in the bedroom.

Stayed here a few years back for the 4th and this year again for the 4th. Always a good time quiet neighborhood. Good for relaxing and close to Hershey park. Will be coming back more often now that my son is a little older!

This was our 2nd time staying at The Cottage in the Woods, and it was just as nice as the first time. Staying in Mt. Gretna is magical, and we hope to do it again soon.

This is a cozy cottage high up in the trees. I’ve stayed in Gretna before and have always enjoyed it. This cottage was a bit more remote, which is perfect for peace and serenity. The cottage decor was enjoyable. I think with a few updates and ongoing cleaning and maintenance this cottage would be perfect.

The place was eclectic. Not as clean as I typically like to see. However maybe I just expect it to be zero dust bunnies under the bed so maybe I am just too picky., but it is an older cabin so maybe a bit of dust is to be expected. It is very unique and had various antiques and pictures of NOLA so it was like a treasure hunt. Parking is not ideal but doable. The area was very nice and I would have loved to enjoy some of the trails but was not there for that, so maybe another time. Hosts are very kind and responsive.

Early Summer Getaway

We absolutely adored staying at this adorable cottage. We were looking for an authentic Gretna experience and that’s exactly what we got. From the carefully curated antiques to the peaceful perfection of the wraparound porch, my partner and I got the rest, relaxation, and regeneration we sought out.

Our family was looking for a weekend get-a-way as a substitute for our vacation bc of COVID. This place was just the ticket. A great location near a bike path/lake and loved spending time on the wrap-around deck. Thank you, William!
